The FF spin off for consoles.....could very well be. There's no way SE is not going to put this on consoles after how well Dissidia has done in the past.

My God that was beautiful...come on SE....do us all a favor and port this...regain your honour DAMMIT!
Looks pretty good. They're smart to make it 3v3 this time, since it makes much more sense to allow for more players in an arcade title especially if they want to sell more machines in a linked system. Interesting that they only showed heroes in the trailer though. Maybe it's still early in development and they haven't adapted the villains into the new full HD models yet?
They'll be holding a press conference for the game on April 10 to provide many more details, so if there's a console version too, that's where they would likely announce it.

Of course it would. It's Final Fantasy, it's Dissidia, it looks good. It'll make its money back before it is even released because every arcade in Japan will want to have it. Popular arcade games get home ports because it allows them to make even more money, not because they don't make money by being in arcades.
I shall get my hopes up!

How big is the damn arcade scene in Japan? I guess I underestimated the overall gaming culture of the Japanese populace.

Wouldn't say this is traditional port begging. It's a game that should be multiplatform and people are asking it to be on pretty much everything.

Looks impressive. Seriously doubt it will ever come to consoles though.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Not as big as it used to be and lots of places have / are shutting down due to low revenue / costs.
Since folks can game on the go using smartphones it really has killed the general casual crowds that stepped into game centers. So its more having to try to live off the hardcore that get addicted to a particular title.
Space is also an issue as the more popular titles are usually the massive machines outside of things like gundam vs and a few other fighting games. Machines are not getting any cheaper either which is another problem when companies keep trying to push out new stuff and if a game center does not keep up with that they have the potential chance to lose their crowd.

The 1st psp game is fully included in the sequel... Right?
That trailer makes me want to play it on my vita.

It doesn't matter that much when we're talking about huge brand titles. When they sell multiplayer machines in sets of 2, or 4, or 6, it means every arcade which wants it is paying 10-30k or more for the set. A popular big new game will still be able to penetrate in a couple of hundred locations nationwide, so that's a sell-in of several million dollars before they even start taking a cut every time someone actually pays to play a game in each arcade.
Nomura finally getting more time for other projects?
Looks good

It's just too bad that we're likely getting only three characters per game, and that will certainly be the MAIN HERO + LOVE INTEREST + VILLAIN choices.

holy crap looks good
Dissidia 012? yea it has the first games plot in it you have to beat the new section first though i believe.
Being an arcade game first actually opens up far more possibilities. They can continue to update more characters along the way. With 15 FF games, 3 characters each would still be 45 characters, which is a lot. Not every FF would really need 3 character anyway, so I'm hoping they'll have more offbeat choices like playable monsters and non-character bosses, etc.

Min doesn't ever leave her derk, does her? Yshtola is more a fighter type than her, and has more interesting powers

I hope you are joking.
Squall is from a game that's over a decade old. Lightning is from the latest FF released. It's not hard to see which one is more popular/relevance.
Well in Japan I think.

Luminous engine?
But probably is the same engine as Gunslinger Stratos 2.

Y'shtola over Minfilia and/or Yda?
I think Minfilia's battle style would be getting kidnapped by everything around..
And it's Ex Burst would be spamming player's Linkpearl.
:$
If I remeber well, Y'shtola has been a fan favourite since 2010, mainly because she was the main NPC in the 1.0 alpha & beta, so players have known her for the longest time. I believe she would have been in even if her class was Leatherworker.
